Dorothy M. (Bushey) of Roslindale, originally of Roxbury, passed away in her 100th year on June 5, 2026. Dorothy was born in Boston on December 2, 1926. Her mother, Mary Ellen Bushey (Flynn) was born and raised in Dysert in Roscommon County, Ireland. Her father, Oliver Bushey, of Vermont came from a long-line of French-Canadians (Boucher) who were pioneers who settled French Quebec in the early 1600s, later immigrating to the U.S. in the mid-1800s.

She was the youngest of six – Margaret Reynold, Helen Falcione, Oliver Bushey, George Bushey, and her twin brother, Donald Bushey – all of whom have predeceased her.

She was also predeceased by her husband Owen J Maguire Jr., her childhood sweetheart from elementary school, and her companion Michael Mavropoulos.

She leaves behind her four children: David L. Maguire MD and his wife Heidi Zenie of Amherst, MA; Ann Marie Maguire Keches and her husband George Keches of Dartmouth, MA, and Sanibel, FL; Patricia Eileen Maguire and her husband David McKeon of Madison, CT; and Marilyn Thayer Maguire and her husband Karl Thayer of Boston, MA. Her grandchildren – Gabrielle, Madeleine, Thomas, John, Owen, David, Katherine, Nicholas, and step-grandchildren – Elizabeth, Katharine, and Rebecca, and her great-grandchildren – Remy, Ines, Hugo, Georgie, Corinne, Valentina, Eleanor, and Taylor will miss their Nana. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews in the Bushey, Falcione, Fitzgerald, Power, and Jones families.

Our family thanks our beloved Dorothy for her hard work in supporting us, for instilling in us the love of learning the importance of living productive lives, for showing us to love without regrets and with commitment and loyalty to the family above all. May she rest in peace for a life well-lived!
